Kinesin Superfamily Handbook
Transporter, Creator, Destroyer
«
"Friel (Univ. of Nottingham) has edited and produced, along with some 19 other expert contributors, a concise reference on kinesins, an important class of proteins that generate force and displacement along cellular microtubules in a wide range of cell types and organisms. The book is organized by sequencing the chapters in the same way as the superfamily itself is organized, such that each covers a different kinesin family, and one chapter is devoted collectively to those families not otherwise covered.
Chapters are formatted consistently, allowing for easy cross-reading to obtain an overview of functional and physiological roles. Each chapter ends with a discussion of the subject kinesin family's involvement in various diseases. Chapters are thoroughly referenced with citations to original literature. This compilation from a wide range of kinesin authorities would be useful to undergraduates working on research projects, as well as to researchers in the field. Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates. Graduate students, faculty, and professionals"-J. A. Kelly, emerita, University of Connecticut in CHOICE, September 2021 Vol. 59 No. 1

This book brings together current information on the families that make up the kinesin superfamily of molecular motors in one comprehensive text; an ideal reference for researchers looking to make comparisons between different families, for specific information on an individual family, or simply for an overview of the kinesin superfamily.
Information is clearly structured and grouped according to individual families and organised in a standardised way, allowing the reader to easily search and retrieve information on this large superfamily of molecular motors and understand how its individual members carry out a diverse variety of cellular functions.
Features:
The first book dedicated to the entire kinesin superfamily
Enables a fuller understanding of this family of proteins, which is becoming an increasing focus of research due to its involvement in diseases such as cancer, neuropathies and ciliopathies
Written in a manner accessible to a range of researchers in the life and medical sciences, including biophysicists, biochemists and medical researchers.
Chapter 4 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 4.0 license.here.
Chapter 11 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 4.0 license.here.
